Mission Details
CRS SpX-18
SpaceX CRS-18, also known as SpX-18, was a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station. Dragon was berthed to the station for 31 days before it successfully returned to Earth. 2,290kg of cargo were brought to the station. Among the cargo was the docking adapter IDA-3, which was installed on PMA-3 to allow docking of new Commercial Crew and Cargo vehicles.
This was the third flight for this Dragon Capsule which has previously flown on the CRS-6 and CRS-13 missions. Additionally, a small amount of ceramic heat shield tiles were placed on the edge of Dragon’s heat shield to test them for use on SpaceX’s Starship.
